Privacy Policy

• We only ask for your email when you want to keep something: save a design, download a stencil, comment, or join the artist directory.
• We don't sell your data and we don't post anything on your behalf.
• Photos you use in the Try-On Studio are processed to create your preview and are not stored.
• You can ask us at any time to see or delete everything linked to your account.

Your account. When you sign in with Google or with an email link, we receive your email address (and, with Google, your name and profile picture). We use it to keep you signed in and to link your saved items to you. We don't see or store your Google password.

What you save. Your saved designs and collections, and the username you choose, are stored with your account so you can find them on any device. Collections are private unless you choose to make them public.

Stencil downloads. We record which stencils you download and when, to apply the daily free download limit.

Comments. When you comment on a guide, we store your name, email, comment and any image you attach. Your name, comment and image are shown publicly after approval; your email is never shown.

Artist profiles. If you apply to the artist directory, we store the details you submit (such as your name, city, styles, social links and contact details) to review your application and, once approved, show your public profile.

Try-On Studio. Your body photo and the design are sent to our server only when you click Apply, combined into your preview, and returned to you. We don't keep a copy.

Saved guides. When you save a blog guide, it is stored in your browser on this device only.

Usage information. Like most sites, we measure how pages are used (pages viewed, approximate location from your IP address, device and browser type) to understand what visitors find useful. We also count anonymous article views per browser session to recommend related guides.

• Sign-in cookies keep you logged in. They are needed for your account to work.
• Google Analytics cookies help us measure visits and popular pages.
• Browser storage remembers small things on your device, like saved guides and an action you started before signing in (so we can finish it for you afterwards).

You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Blocking sign-in cookies will sign you out.

We use a few trusted services to host and run TattoosMap. They process data only to provide their service to us:

• Supabase — database, accounts and file storage.
• Hostinger — hosting of the website.
• Cloudflare — security and fast delivery of pages.
• Google — Google sign-in (if you choose it) and Google Analytics.

Some of these providers may process data outside your country. They are required to protect it.

Shopping links. Product pages link to stores such as Amazon. When you follow a link, that store's own privacy policy applies.

We keep your account data for as long as you have an account. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your saves, collections and profile. Download records are kept only as long as needed for the daily limit and site security. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics retention settings.

You can ask us to:

• show you the data linked to your account,
• correct it,
• delete your account and its data,
• give you a copy of your saves.

Email contact@tattoosmap.com from the address you sign in with, and we'll reply within 30 days. If you live in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

TattoosMap is meant for adults. We don't knowingly create accounts for anyone under 16. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

If we change how we use your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. For important changes, we'll tell signed-in users on the site.
